“The Senate of the United States today took a giant step to creating a permanent bailout fund for Wall Street. All this does is institutionalize the same bad behavior that got us into the mess we are now.”

“The American people can be certain of two things as a result of this vote. First, they can be sure that there will be more bailouts and greater dislocation of the markets. Second, they can depend on higher taxes, and greater burden on them and their families, all thanks to the U.S. Senate, Chris Dodd, Barney Frank, Nancy Pelosi, and the rest of the unindicted co-conspirators in the financial meltdown.”
The Dodd Financial Services Bill institutionalizes many of the same issues that the American people rejected during the original financial services bailout. ALG has been a leading voice in opposition to the Dodd Financial Bill, and has become a trusted source for analysis from an independent, limited government perspective.
